Our objective is to be the leading worldwide provider of real- time e-commerce and business-to-business communications in the petroleum marketing industry. Our vertical integration strategy is to purchase existing petroleum marketers, transport companies, dealers and related facilities in key distribution markets.
We intend to finance these purchases with the issuance and sale of taxable municipal bonds. We have been negotiating the issuance of $330 million of Taxable Municipal Bonds with the Town of Davie, Florida. We currently have prepared an application for the bond offering that requires us to pay a $660,000 commitment and application fee. We are also required to have a bank issue a cost of issuance and short fall letter of credit in the amount of approximately $9,900,000 which is refundable from the proceeds of the bond issue. As of the date of this Report, GunnAllen Financial our financial advisor, has brought an investor that has completed extensive due diligence on the proposed bond offering and has verbally agreed to escrow approximately $11 million for our company. These monies will be used to pay for the application and commitment fee in the amount of $660,000 and the cost of issuance and short fall letter of credit in the amount of approximately $9.9 million, as well as certain legal and underwriting fees. It is anticipated that the agreement for this $11 million, if acceptable terms are negotiated, should be executed in May 2002. However, there can be no assurances that agreeable terms will be reached, or that this matter will be successfully consummated.
